Health

During a congressional subcommittee hearing, Aaron Siri detailed a study from Henry Ford Medical Center, which suggests unvaccinated children may have different health outcomes. This should have sparked renewed questions on vaccine safety but, according to Siri, was buried because it did not support the pro-vaccine narrative. Medical experts have countered that the study’s methodology lacks rigor and does not align with broader scientific consensus on vaccine safety.

Also making news, the Make America Healthy Again Commission has announced a strategy with over 120 initiatives to address childhood chronic diseases, focusing on nutrition, environmental factors, and regulatory reform, according to a commission press release. Some policy experts question the feasibility of implementing such a broad agenda, citing potential bureaucratic and financial challenges. Additionally, the FDA is now investigating child deaths potentially linked to COVID-19 vaccines and has committed to releasing a detailed report, amid discussions about data transparency at the CDC, per an agency statement.

Additionally, RFK Jr. and Trump have proposed restrictions on pharmaceutical TV ads to address misleading claims, which could impact media spending through stricter disclosure requirements, per a White House briefing. The pharmaceutical industry has expressed concern that such rules could limit public access to information about new treatments, per a PhRMA statement. President Trump has added weight to the MAHA momentum by making comments indicating a reevaluation of vaccine risk-benefit considerations, as reported in a recent speech.

Meanwhile, New York Governor Kathy Hochul issued an emergency order supporting off-label use of COVID-19 vaccines for children as young as 3, a move that some healthcare workers have questioned for diverging from FDA guidance, as reported by local news outlets. Hochul defended the order as necessary to protect vulnerable populations, emphasizing public health priorities.

US Politics

A fatal stabbing of Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska on a Charlotte light-rail train has prompted significant political and public reaction. President Trump urged a strong response to such crimes, noting the suspect’s reported 14 prior arrests and commenting on what he described as limited media coverage of the incident, according to a statement from the White House. Meanwhile, activists initiated fundraisers for the accused, which were subsequently removed by GoFundMe. The FBI and Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy have launched investigations, with Duffy stating that funding cuts could be considered for transit systems that do not meet safety standards, per a Department of Transportation release. Charlotte Mayor Vi Lyles expressed condolences and emphasized community healing, defending the city’s safety efforts and praising media restraint in not sharing the incident video.

In Colorado, Weld County Sheriff Steve Reams expressed concern about an individual released due to a legal provision on competency to stand trial, citing alleged violent attacks by the suspect, according to a sheriff’s office statement. Governor Jared Polis responded by highlighting state efforts to improve mental health services, asserting the law aims to balance safety and treatment.

In Michigan, a judge dismissed felony charges against 15 Republicans accused of acting as “fake electors” in the 2020 election, following a detailed court review, as reported in court documents. Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel criticized the dismissal as undermining electoral integrity and plans to appeal.

Economy

Farmers across the U.S. have raised concerns about potential agricultural challenges, attributing high input costs and low commodity prices to large agricultural corporations, as discussed at a recent Arkansas meeting attended by over 400 farmers. Estimates presented at the meeting suggest 25-40% of farmers could face bankruptcy, leading to calls for federal investigations and state-level anti-trust actions, according to attendees’ statements. However, some industry analyses suggest technological advancements and government subsidies are helping mitigate these challenges for certain farmers, per a Reuters report.

Globally, Vietnam has reportedly erased or frozen 86 million unverified bank accounts as part of a biometric data initiative linked to a national ID system, aimed at fraud prevention, though some critics have raised concerns about potential government overreach, per local reports. The State Bank of Vietnam clarified that the measure focuses on financial security and consumer protection, not broader control agendas.

Geopolitics

Tensions have risen in the Middle East following an Israeli strike in Doha that killed five Hamas leaders, including the son of a chief negotiator, as confirmed by Israel in an official statement. Hamas has accused President Trump of involvement in the strike, according to a statement from the group. The U.S. and Qatar were reportedly informed prior to the attack, and the incident has drawn criticism from Gulf states, stalling peace talks and prompting calls for a ceasefire and increased aid to Gaza, per regional news sources. The White House has acknowledged the attack, praising the goal of eliminating Hamas while condemning unilateral actions against a U.S. ally, promising it won’t recur.

Energy

The oil and gas sector is experiencing challenges as companies such as ConocoPhillips, Chevron, and BP announce job cuts amid declining crude prices and reduced capital spending, according to company statements. Industry representatives have indicated concerns about a sustained downturn, with potential impacts on U.S. shale profitability and global output, as reported in industry analyses. Some companies, however, are exploring AI and digital tools to optimize operations and mitigate layoffs, per a Bloomberg report.

Technology

A Supreme Court case, Cox Communications v. Sony Music Entertainment, may impact internet access policies in the U.S. by deciding whether internet service providers must disconnect users based on unverified piracy claims. Cox, supported by tech companies and civil liberties organizations, argues that such liability could affect online access for households and businesses, according to court filings and public statements from involved parties. The Recording Industry Association of America counters that ISPs must do more to combat piracy, supporting the need for accountability.

If you crave to see the good guys winning, the first two hours of the hearing were terrific. Siri and Rogers were magnificent, and the pharma troll had his ass handed to him on a platter. Very satisfying.

I could only watch the first two hours but plan to watch the rest when I can. I am busy at present crafting a voodoo doll, named Lil’ Blumenthal, and am looking for sufficiently long pins.

It was very interesting to observe the juxtaposition of men like Siri and Rogers against a man like Blumenthal. Such a sharp contrast between integrity and wickedness. You wouldn’t normally see that “in the wild” because they occupy such different spheres. But that there are men in the world like Siri and Rogers gives me hope and courage.

I do love that this strategy is unironically named
“Make Our Children Healthy Again Strategy”.

Because what healthy kid doesn’t want and deserve several MOCHAS?

FWIW, I’m pretty sure Mexican mochas are healthier, with the additional fiber and antioxidants from the red chile and cinnamon.

Massive protests taking place in France. Protesters have taking to the streets and in the French square and they are boycotting all businesses. This is something Martin Armstrong predicted last year would happen. He said going into 2028 we should expect governments around the world collapsing, including the EU.

It always ends with pitchforks and torches crashing the Castle Gates. The government in Nepal has been overthrown by protesters and the finance minister was drag thru the street and beaten. As Gerald Celente likes to say, “When people lose everything and have nothing else to lose
THEY LOSE IT”

The EPA piled onto this announcement and shared its collaboration with MAHA, in their Children’s Health newsletter.

In that newsletter, “Key focus areas of the strategy” there’s mention of “Restoring Science and Research” which includes:

"Precision Agriculture".

Wth is that? Who word-smithed that to what focus group, what do the rest of us call it, and should i be concerned about their motivations?

Ah this news title makes way more sense than “social media banned, people angry” (suggesting youth addiction), ie boomer viewpoint messaging, while it looks there is real problems for youth and elite in government are not doing anything.
At that point I dont care if politicians can or cant do anything as I presume they were elected in campaign, voted by promises and now people see all promises were rude lies. FAFO then.

Would love to see a MAHA study revising old vaccine data.

What diseases were wiped out by hygienic and lifestyle improvements vs modern medicine?

Might help vaxxies and maskies realize measles isnt a death sentence if they don’t return home to a shanty house next to an open air sewage system after working a 12 hour shift in a mine.

Life is great once you realize you have agency and not every health problem from the past was miraculously solved medical intervention. Personal responsibility goes a long way.

I constantly ponder this. Reading history europe 1910 was simply a mess. However I remember how especially women in families are obsessed with cleaning. Well those inventions throughout 1800s and 1900s were effectively distributed to society once found.
However stark contrast is there looking how foreigners live once they’ve taken over whole suburb. Very different standard.
Some history/palentology etc old times looked 1500s buildings and found same rigorous cleaning marks from those buildings. So something was up spesifically in western/european culture that is not medicine nor taken for granted in other parts of world.

Families report of flu or covid that every year if even one kid or adult get some disease, it instantly spreads to whole family unless lucky. Medicine still wont solve that one. Sometimes these are more serious strains
 flu nonetheless but keeps in bed many days. I bet throughout centuries huge amount of decisions in society, eg housing planning, how far apart houses are in town
 are result from this painful very long learning ingrained in cultures. US Im sure has some of this too as so many settlers before independence died of these same causes throughout centuries. Not in concrete city but midwest and other non urban places.

An update on Nepal. The military has taken over to try and restore order in Nepal. Government officials have fled the country.

Interesting, not a peep from the western main stream media. I guess they don’t want citizens in other countries, like France (cough
cough) or the UK to figure out how to properly deal with incompetent, corrupt politicians. :clown_face:

“Buffalo says. Look at Extension [University of Arkansas] numbers — corn growers losing $240 per acre; soybeans losing $144 per acre; and rice losing $380 per acre
"

I work some with ag producers in Oregon on energy. One of the big issues now is putting solar panels on farmland - displaces productive farmland (and for many is an eyesore blot on the landscape). BUT, solar projects bring in steady income - often more per acre than farming and with no risk. I can certainly see the argument for it especially for the small family farmer not wanting to go bankrupt and losing the farm that been in the family for generations.

AgriVoltaics can mitigate losses to farmland, and if visual hedgerows/trees are planted to block sightlines then visual impacts can be reduced. But doing a project in that sort of thoughtful ways add time, costs, and requires lots of effort to find the rare solar developer who’s not just in it to make a buck and “fight climate change” (with solar panels made in China using coal fired electricity) by reducing emissions with “clean electricity”.

That’s interesting
 looks all agri then is loss activity. Some folks playing russian roulette with food production.
Lots of businesses can be at loss but people consume food, that’s not optional.
